According to Wikipedia, 0.5-2m cuneiform tablets have been found. How much text is on them? What origins and kinds of content are there by volume? How do experts find tablets worth translating?

There's always more to be said on the topic, but I addressed most of these questions in Are there any ancient texts that have yet to be translated due to a lack of translators? (Be sure to read the follow-up questions and answers.)

I wrote about Hittite cuneiform texts in particular in this post.
